Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based biotyping of silk. II. Differences in 34 local silkworm race cocoons
Abstract:Silk proteins and silk fibers from silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) cocoons were partially hydrolyzed by acids, and the cleaved peptide mass fragments (PMFs) were analyzed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-offlight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Cleaved PMFs obtained via MALDI-TOF MS analysis were compared among 34 local silkworm race cocoons. Dendrograms were created based on the cleaved PMFs of raw, heat-treated, sodium carbonate-treated, Marseille soap-treated, and hydrogen peroxide-treated… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
